Can you bring food through airport security? Here are the Thanksgiving dishes that are TSA-approved.

The Transportation Security Administration is expecting over 18 million people to take to the skies this week, making 2024 a contender for the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record. 

That's sure to mean plenty of Thanksgiving treats going through airport scanners, whether it's dishes getting transported to a family gathering or leftovers being ferried home. 

Most foods can be brought through a security checkpoint, the TSA said in a news release, but there are some items that can only be transported in a checked bag. To make holiday planning easier on everyone, the TSA released a list of which Thanksgiving foods can be brought in a carry-on, and what needs to go in a checked bag.
